DON’T OVER THINK IT, BOYS….The Bible is very clear about the fact that Jesus had many STEP BROTHERS AND STEP SISTERS. Mary Magdelin was probably Jesus' STEP SISTER! I don’t know why human beings have to turn EVERYTHING into SEX, but our “race” is a real bunch of CROTH GRABBERS! Get a grip. Mary probably got married, then ended up a WIDOW, with some cash. She probably decided to finance her beloved brother’s mission AND go with him in case he got into trouble. Does ANYONE know WHO told Jesus’s mother what happend…or how he got arrested…or what the Romans were going to do to him. Who told her WHEN He was going to die? Remember...His mother WAS THERE...at THE CROSS...who told her to come? I BET you the word got to her though Mary Magdelin, the STEP-sister of Jesus...and the daughter of Joseph and Mary. And, finally, I bet Mary of Magdelin was their second child...which would EXPLAIN why Jesus would kiss her.."often, on the __?___."

One has to realize that this is a novel and novels are written with ones imagination. The author did not do any reserch or investigation into the life of Christ or Mary Magdelin for that matter.

Very little is known about Mary, except what is stated in the Holy Bible. I do know this, if you look at a painting or a sculpture of the Last Supper, you will notice that Mary Magdelin, is sitting on the right side of Christ.

Does any of this Da Vinci Code stuff really matter? Does it change the Truth about Jesus?

If you believe that Jesus Christ is Our Lord and Savior and that he died for our sins and so that we can be free, than that is all you need to really know and believe. Who Mary Magedlin was to Jesus does not change things at all. Jesus is my Lord and Savior no matter who says what.
